The resort
Kudadoo Maldives Private Island is an upscale all-inclusive 5-star property in Lhaviyani Atoll, reached by a 35-minute seaplane transfer from Male. The 4-hectare private island holds just 15 overwater residences, each with a private pool and dedicated butler, making it one of the smallest and most exclusive resorts in the country. The signature Anything, Anytime, Anywhere concept covers all dining, beverages including champagne and premium spirits, motorised and non-motorised water sports, spa treatments, and excursions. A single open-air restaurant pavilion, designed by Yuji Yamazaki with a sweeping solar-panel roof that makes the island fully solar-powered, serves custom menus throughout the day. Guests also have full access to the adjacent Hurawalhi sister resort, including its undersea restaurant. The reef sits directly below the villas, with the dive centre running daily excursions to Lhaviyani's manta cleaning stations. Kudadoo combines solar-run architecture, 15-villa intimacy, and a genuinely unlimited inclusive model.

We are pleased to offer you a choice of the following private yoga sessions: Traditional Yoga Traditional Yoga is a spiritual practice, with the goal of achieving union with the absolute or the divine. Traditional Hatha Yoga includes OM chanting, Beejakshari Mantra chanting along with Mudras, which creates vibrations in your body and helps removing blockages and activates energy centers of the body. Hatha Yoga Asanas (Beginners to Advanced) Hatha simply refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, meaning your Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar and Power Yoga classes are all types of Hatha Yoga. The word “Hatha” can be translated in two ways: as “willful” or “forceful,” or the yoga of activity, and as “sun” (ha) and “moon” (tha), the yoga of balance. Hatha yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites, designed to align and calm your mind, body and spirit… Vinyasa Yoga Vinyasa yoga is a general term that incorporates many different styles. Its vigorous style encourages rapid blood flow through the practicing of sun salutations. Vinyasa classes often repeat a series of poses and often involve increasing body heat levels and building core strength.
Suspended yoga strengthens core muscles and increases spinal and shoulder flexibility. It can also help heal back problems as it allows you the chance to hang freely, giving your spine the chance to extend. Balance is a key component in daily activities, and aerial yoga helps maintain a good balance both inside and out.
